His recent form tells the story of a tried and tested campaigner. In his last six races, he has finished sixth, third, third, first, third, and second. That first-place finish stands out: a genuine win in a field where he managed to find a way through. Since then it has been places and near-misses, which is the life of most racehorses — solid, honest performances that keep them in work but rarely light up the record book. He runs for trainer Jack Morland at Newmarket, a yard that has already sent out 14 winners this season and clearly keeps its horses active and in form.
When Dragon God steps up to Class 5 races — the most competitive level at which he regularly runs — he has yet to trouble the judge. Four starts at that level, no wins. This is perhaps the ceiling for him: he can win at the tracks and levels where he found that success at Great Yarmouth, but the step up remains just beyond reach. For a horse running at this level, a win in any race is an achievement worth celebrating, and one that keeps him involved and earning his keep.
